regulated sport or not, has nothing to do with anything. When I play a game/sport, whether it's baseball, a video game, or -blam!-ing monopoly, I expect people to behave a certain way. When I see players exhibit behavior that conflicts with my mindset, they have shown me at a core level, that we not like-minded individuals, and thus, I don't want to play with that individual in the future. Mind you, this isn't simply the case of "he likes something I don't" - it's a bit deeper than that. I do what I do in an attempt to preserve the integrity of online gaming. When I see others break this "code" I abide by, it isn't just because they're doing things I wouldn't, it's that they have shown me that they have no integrity, either for themselves and/or the game, or that their idea of what integrity is, is so misguided, that they are doing more harm than good in their actions.

  • how is not tea bagging "preserving the game"? How is tea bagging having no "integrity"? it is simply spamming the crouch button on top of someones body, which suggests the sexual term for "tea bagging". this thing has been in halo since halo 2, and I even remember being in a halo reach game with a bungie employee, who did it him/herself! Now, if you have such a problem with this that you complain about it in a forum, then honestly, you shouldn't be playing the game at all

    [quote]how is not tea bagging "preserving the game"? How is tea bagging having no "integrity"? it is simply spamming the crouch button on top of someones body, which suggests the sexual term for "tea bagging".[/quote] Yeah, and farting during a funeral mass is just the release of gas produced by bacteria in the gut - a completely natural phenomenon, so nobody should be offended, right?... First off, let's get one thing straight - teabagging is just one of several factors I look for when deciding to avoid a player or not. It is not the only thing, just one of the more common ones. You ask how is not teabagging "preserving the game?" because I know what it was like before tebagging was even a thing. I know what it was like before console MP gaming was a thing. I've experienced MP gaming at extremely high levels, in terms of the quality of the community playing the games. Unfortunately, shits gone way the -blam!- downhill since then, turning MP gaming from something I actually look forward to and consistently derive enjoyment from, to the cesspool we have now, that I dread having to tread through. I understand that different games have different communities, that range from "never play with this -blam!-ing community ever," to "-blam!-ing awesome," But ultimately, in my 15+ yrs. of MP gaming experience, ranging everything from pub-matches to league play, to different genres including FPS, RTS, TBS, RPG, and MMO, the biggest culprit I have found to the decline of online gaming, is the rise of MP gaming on console. I can play the same game on PC and console, and almost always, the console community is the worse of the two. [quote]this thing has been in halo since halo 2, [/quote] And your point?... Halo 2 isn't that old. I was already playing games for 19 years when Halo 2 came out, and had 5-6 yrs. experience with online MP. Shit was different before Halo came out... [quote]if you have such a problem with this that you complain about it in a forum, then honestly, you shouldn't be playing the game at all[/quote] First off, I never complained about anything - I just shared something I do personally - I think I've had to repeat this like at least 12 times. Second, who are you to tell me what I should or shouldn't be playing? As mentioned above, I have a shit ton of gaming experience. In addition, I also briefly worked as a gaming correspondent on a PC gaming site, as well as racked up hundreds or thousands of forum posts on gaming sites over the years. I've left reviews for countless games, have participated in over a dozen betas, both open and closed, and recently was asked in an email from the CEO from Splash Damage if I wanted to participate the closed alpha for their next upcoming game. I live and breath games - they are my passion, but apparently because I just won't conform and look at actions such as tea-bagging like how the majority of the community does, I should just hang up my coat and stop participating in MP gaming altogether. Yeah, you and others on here - you argument's on this are rock solid...

  • ok, I guess I came off a bit harsh. I don't really tea bag myself unless I finally killed a person who was really pissing me off, as it is usually a waste of time and leaves you vulnerable, but it doesn't really bother me. I shouldn't really complain if you avoid people since it is your choice if you do so, and a respectable one. it irks me how it bothers you so much, but what the hell, I have thousands of other people to play with. and what you said about communities, I also understand. every cod player is a narcotic asshole who is usually 9 and gets pissed every time you kill him. but I don't really ever see that apply to the "true" bungie community. the halo/bungie community has always been a great one, and i'm not talking about those people who buy the game and stop playing it after a month or two, i'm talking about the people who truly stick with bungies games and to this day still enjoy playing a round of, I dunno, halo 2, or halo 3 (me and my friends for example)

    [quote] it irks me how it bothers you so much, [/quote] Which is likely the same mindset a lot of others responding to me share as well, as is evident by their words and apparent tone, which why I keep stressing that if anyone is "butthurt" over anything, it's everyone else, not me. I'm doing nothing wrong. I'm not being abusive or volatile in my actions, nor am I trolling. I'm a team player, I play my role and go for the objective, and I'm not having fun at the expense of others, yet sharing what I do in this thread, has caused a lot of people to apparently lose their shit. If I mute or block someone on a forum , that is deemed acceptable, but when I do a similar act in game, for similar reasons, suddenly it's completely different and looked as whining, complaining, being butthurt, or anything else but acceptable behavior, not because it actually is these things, but just because others don't see it that way.
